Discover the Truthear x Crinacle Zero:RED
Expanding on the potential behind the double dynamic driver system found in the Truthear x Crinacle Zero, the Zero:RED is a result of a passion project that takes the limits of dynamic drivers and throws them aside to create something beyond special.
Tuned to the IEF target, the Zero:RED is unapologetically tuned to what Crinacle believes is what an IEM should sound.
Including an 10 Ohm impedance adapter, the reworked crossovers allow for freedom in the low end, allowing for you to decide how much bass you want.

my Kato don't sound six times as expensive as these, and free shipping? Crin is you kidding?
first time getting 50€+ IEMs and they didn't disappoint! I like using them for making and listening to music which is why I went for the Zero:Red and gave the Zero to my sis who needed new ones.
they aren't the comfiest (I still prefer how the truthear Hola and Gate fits) but you can get used to them quickly. They might feel slightly too big when you put them on for the first time.
Other infos, I placed my order on the 19th and they arrived in Italy on the 31st, no problem there. They do not come with a mic, which is something I overlooked to check when buying them so that's on me.
I'm probably sticking with my Hola and Gate for outdoor use but can't complain about the purchase
Despite the nozzle being kind of big for my ears, the eartips provided actually do a good job of staying in my ears. I prefer the sound of them with the bass adapter, where things weirdly sound more clear.
The first time I put the Zero: Reds in my ears, I was legitimately blown away by how great they sound for the price. They're just excellent. A near-perfect tuning (at this price point anyway) with excellent technical abilities that rival stuff that costs three or four times more.
They're an easy recommend, and I definitely prefer them to the original Truthear x Crin Zeros (the Blues), which are way too bright and Harman-y for my liking.
The only weak spot is the cable, but I mean, it's perfectly fine. It just feels pretty cheap. Get a replacement cable and you're golden.
The Zero: Reds are great, and an excellent entry point to the world of IEMs. Heck, even if you already have more high-end IEMs, I'd still say you should pick up a pair. They sound THAT good, and for $55 I'm not as worried about losing them or breaking them when I take them with me on the go. They are the KING of the $50 price bracket right now.
Good drivers, quality control could be better with the 2 pin cord, left side of the cord went dead after about 8 uses.
